This is a thread to suggest or discuss any potential changes you'd like to see next season.
Also, I know we had this discussion already and it was put to a vote, but I am still pondering the keeper rule for next season. As you all should recall, I proposed a new rule of keeping 5 players with strictions by player position. Since, in my opinion, this was a kind of radical change, I decided to put it to a vote. The vote was like 7-5 or 8-6 in favor of keeping the rule as only 3 players (as we have always done). The 5 keeper idea is officially off the table and shot down.
However, I still think we can find a compromise between the 3 keeper and 5 keeper ideas. I am close to deciding on changing the rule to keeping 4 players for next season. The voting (as mentioned above) was close and this is a good compromise for all parties. There will be no restrictions as to position either.
I look at it this way and I hope others can understand my point. Without question, there will be a ton of impact players in the free agent market this offseason. The rosters of AI Melo and Marco will all be free agents and most likely ToniSamp's as well. Assuming everyone else re-joins next season, we will need one more team to make it 14 total teams (remember we will NOT have 16 teams again as we did this season). So along with 3 rosters being dumped back into the free agent pool, we can add any big time players coming to Serie A, and the young players from Serie B, etc. No one can argue that they have no chance to be competitive next season. The likes of Pato, Trezeguet, Del Piero, Bianchi, Vucinic, Aquilani, Rosina, Cristiano Doni, Julio Cesar, Mexes, etc will all be free agents. I think keeping 4 players keeps the continuity of the league and honestly, gives me a little less work to do in the offseason (which I am dreading cause I anticipate this being alot of work but I want to do it).
The 4 keeper rule will likely go into effect after the season and it would take basically everyone in the league to come to me and reject the idea.
